Leupold SX-1 overview

The angled viewing SX-1 Ventana 2 20-60x80 Spotting Scope Kit from Leupold features an objective lens that is constructed from high-quality glass with specialized optical coatings to provide clear and bright images. The lens elements are multi-coated to prevent internal ghosting and reflections. These coatings are highly reflective and minimize the loss of light while further boosting contrast and color fidelity.

This spotting scope's durable body is nitrogen-filled and is both water and fogproof. The included 20-60x eyepiece provides a linear field of view of 89.0-47.0' at 1,000 yards, while a tripod mounting shoe accepts a 1/4"-20 mounting bolt, and a retractable lens shade keeps the Sun or rain off the objective lens.

This kit includes both a soft case as well as a briefcase-style hard-shell case for storage and transport, a shoulder strap, plus a tiltable tripod with adjustable legs.

Shaky ProductI have purchased a number of Leupold products in the past and found them to be excellent quality. This, however, has issues. The weakness is the tripod/tripod mount. No matter how much you tighten every thing down, it is shaky and feels like it could break at any time. The shakiness is only compounded the further out your looking. Leupold, this product is not up to your usual standards.
